At any rate I think we can agree that the chances of getting in trouble for making a single phone call offering to buy a single property like the OP is talking about here are extremely slim, as are the chances of a suit being pursued against anyone for doing this.

You can be a top performer without emotional intelligence, but the chances are slim.

I’ve been looking and there’s slim pickings for MF in Phoenix and Tucson at that price point to cash flow. 

He's also the lender with 20 years rehab experience, but he is going to be by far the highest priced lender for a newbie and the odds of putting a deal together with him as a new person is very very slim, unless you have a very sellable property that he can have a first mortgage on that is worth three times the amount of money you're asking for.My experience

We invest money that can be lost or profited on and the outcome isn't as predictable as borrowing money from a bank and fixing up the old wall paper and turning the house for a slim profit.It takes balls to do & Run This Deal.

Quick side note as the guy with the second place in line the picking get slim.

Since I know a lot of those investors purchased above safe price, I suspect a lot of people are seeing very slim margins and/or having to hold properties much longer than they had planned.I don't expect to see our inventory issues fixed any time soon, but prices are definitely correcting.

The chances of 1 property being mailed and being a good deal are very slim and would take a ton of luck. 

Where I am the chance of doing that is slim to none as houses are well over $200K.
